Poetry Games: Billy Joel

I’ll be straight up: it’s been a rough day. It’s EOM, the Internet at work was super spotty, my week old cough continues to wreak havoc, my Ramen Tatsuya lunch made a reappearance in the bathroom, and it’s Monday. I went through my Discover Weekly playlist and hit up the Daily Mix playlists. One of them was dedicated to the oldies – Paul Simon, Beatles, Billy Joel. I listened to “For the Longest Time” and down I went the rabbit hole of Billy Joel’s Spotify page. A few songs from the Piano Man and I was back up and running (thought still coughing). So, to say my thanks, here’s a poem dedicated to Billy Joel.

Side note: This is actually not the first Billy Joel poem I have written. I wrote one back in December 2017, but don’t have the copy anymore and slightly regret not taking a picture of it when I wrote. If you got the OG poem, care to share it with its creator? S’il vous plaît?
